“I showed them to my teacher,” said 11-year-old Kaleb, the oldest of the three two-legged Adolf boys. “It’s cool. I love my dog. He’s my best friend.”

Trouser is a laid-back dude who mostly likes to eat, sleep and watch ESPN. His family rewarded him with a manly leather collar and a few bags of Beggin’ Strips.

“We started letting him on the bed,” Adolf said. “His fat butt can barely make it up there.”

The couple bought their king-sized bed with winnings from a scratch game prize a year ago. “It had a comma and few zeros,” is how Adolf described the prize.

The rest of that windfall went toward bills and last summer’s 25-state, 8,500-mile family road trip that didn’t include Trouser.

“We’re avid scratch ticket players,” Adolf said.

Current scratch tickets grand prizes range from $777 to $1 million, depending on the game price. The top “Cats vs. Dogs” prize is $20,000. Three tickets are printed with that sum. It’s unknown which pets behold the jackpot scratch.

The family got their white bulldog as a pup and named him Trouser because from the back it looks like he’s wearing pants.

“He was almost a show dog,” Adolf said. “He had the right dimensions and measurements.”

But there were already too many family demands for Adolf, a master control operator at a Seattle television station, and his wife, office manager of North Creek Medicine in Everett.

“We didn’t have the time,” he said. “We both work opposite schedules.”

Trouser’s getting the recognition he deserves.

“He’s an award-winning dog now,” Adolf said. “Hundreds of thousands of people will get to see him now.”
